Abstract: In design and construction projects, facilitation has traditionally taken one form “partnering“ and has unfortunately been limited to only a minor role on the project: improving relationships between the individuals on the project team. However, facilitation offers numerous additional opportunities to improve project and team performance and takes more forms than just partnering. Tools such as project definition rating index (PDRI), value engineering and analysis (VE), project risk management (PRM), and partnering represent the “new faces of facilitation” and, when used in various combinations, create a critical nexus between facilitation and project controls. Through conversations with practitioners in PDRI, VE, PRM, and partnering in a panel discussion and by highlighting specific project examples and case studies, attendees at this valuable session will explore with us how each form of these facilitated engagements improves collaboration, identifies key performance metrics, and engages the team to focus on not only forming a well-functioning team, but also tracking the quantitative indicators of success.
